Her Last Chance by HJ Reed

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @ZooloosBT and @HJReed for being part of this tour and reviewing this book. Her Last chance is book 1 in the series and is crime/ thriller read. Rosie has been arrested for a murder and her Dad (Crow) who's a policeman that has been ill due to a head injury from a bullet and is now trying to help her daughter and son-in-law find out what happened in the murder case. I found it hard to get into the first couple of pages but then was hooked and the story was at a good pace and very well written. There was some good twists that i did not see coming. Looking forward to the next book in the series. 4 Stars. If you like crime/ thriller you will love this. Out now to buy. Book Blurb A bullet to the brain. An estranged daughter. And a spate of brutal murders. A bullet lodged in the frontal lobe is bound to cause a few health issues. For DI Al Crow, it's just the beginning. When his estranged daughter Rosie is accused of being involved in a grisly murder, Crow becomes her only hope of being acquitted. Desperate to save his daughter, Crow goes all out to solve the case. He knows this is a chance to repair a rift that has torn his family apart and to prove to his bosses that he's still up to the job. The stakes are high, but things are complicated. To solve the murder, Crow must reckon with his ex-wife’s connection to a seasoned, ruthless conman and Rosie's relationship with a dangerously unstable psychologist. Can he crack the case and save his family and his career? Her Last Chance is an intricate crime thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page. Author Bio H J Reed lives and writes in Bristol, where she graduated with a PhD in psychology and began a long career lecturing in psychology and criminology, both in mainstream universities and in the prison education system. Her evenings were spent writing novels and short stories in various genres and styles, and pondering on the strange workings of the criminal mind. After a number of publication successes, she gained an MA in creative writing and went on to teach literature and the arts. Now, she is able to follow her lifelong passion and write crime fiction full time. When she is not writing, she can be found being taken for long muddy walks by a middle-aged, temperamental toy poodle, or in far-flung foreign cities thinking up new plots.

Thank you @strangelymagic and @neemtreepress for letting me review this book. War of the wind is 220 pages snd is you g adukt fiction. I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like ot held my attention to the end. I really like the characters my favourite where Max, Beanie and Erin. I love the plot with the evil Doctor Asheood and the wind turbines. It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him. My heart did go out to dad ehen i found out why. It did make me sad in places but its great read and gripped me. I slso liked hid uncle and twister. I feel young adults will love this story its diffent and its grest suspence.

The Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams is for young adults between 9-13 years, which will keep them entertained till the end. The story is dark and well-written. The illustrations are amazing and great fantasy. The story is at a great pace and love adventure running through the book 5 stars. Blurb In a strange little village called Witchetty Hollow, eleven-year-old Florizel is the first to run into the curious visitors who've come to open a brand new Daydream Delicatessen and sack-baby factory.

Thank you @NikkiTgriffiths , @Seeshespeak and @Melivillehouse for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f...
